ties. With the Grand Duchess Of Baden,
arose and bowed. Muenck called for
cheers for the Emperor, the victorious
commander IN glorious battles, the be
loved father Of his country. the author
Of the union Of the German races, the
defender Of the frontiers OF the Empire,
and the guardian Of the peace Of the
world. There was tremendous applsuse,
followed by the singing Of the nationsl
anthem. The Emperor remained stand
ing, boving With evident qualification.
The procession then marched past the
palace. The whole scene was most bril-
liant.
The students cheered loadly at Bis
marck's Palace, where the Chancellor,
Count Herbert Bismarck and Count
Rantzen were awaiting the procession.
In response to q call from the students,
Bismarck opened the window and bowed
his thanks. A similar ovation was
rendered to Won Moltke, his officers
and general staff. The whole effair
was conducted in q most orderly
manner. Daring the procession the

TO express his qualification at

as the circumstances and times were
serious. After referring to the dissolu-
tion of the Rsichstag, he questioned
many students separately regarding
their birth places, studies they pursued,
the number Of courses they had CON-
pleted aud the corporation in which they
belonged.
The Empress also expressed her
thanks for the ovation. At IL o'clock,
when the Ouirassier Regiment came TO
relieve the guard at the Palace, thou
saods Who still remained burst into en-
thusiaatio cheering. which was costin-
ned SO long that at last the Emperor
came TO the window and again thanked
the people. His appearance had magic
effects. The cheers redoubIed. The
national anthem was again sang. The
Emperor waved ais hand and disap
peaFed. At late honr the crowds still
in the vicinity of the Palace.
Enormous crowds gathered at the I'm
peFial Palace to watch the eveniHR's
events. At Rightfall all the streets and
squares ia the vicinity of the paiace
were packed with spectators standing
twenty rows deep on each side, whs hsd
been viewing the arrival and departure
of tie banquet guests. Through the
palace windows we're obtained views Of
the splendid scene within. The
clear, starry sky aud the lights
in all directions gave a
weird effect OF light and shade
on the architecture Of the palace and the
N massive buildings Of the University op
poeite. Suddenly blszs of light ran
along the front Of the building and
CLEANS of fame shot from stars
and crowns decorating the facades.
Then the sosne changed and a deep rose
colored light shone cut from the gardens
and flooded the whole building. Present.
" q procession was seen approaching ID
perfect silence. The students marched
five abreast. They were sttired in pic
turesqae costumes aud carried a bare
sword In one hand and a torch
in the other. In the line were
the banners of old German
towns. Two students dressed in
the uniform OF Wallenstein's soldiers
beaded the procession. Then came
others on horseback, followed By the
Zietben hussars with powdered perigiRa,
white corded coats and cooked hats,
surmounted With white aeristtes. Tbs
bands were playing simple tune sf the
middle ages with touching effect 10 the
still night air.
When they reached the EmpeE RS
window the hussars wheeled back and
the torches we're seen moving IN differ
ent directions, twininQ in and out like
will o'.the wisps. This was repeated
several times with increased effect, the
torches eirelinR and crossing like an
ancient var dance 20 sounds of the
soft, old music, now approaching
and anon fading away in the distance.
While the procession OF students was
passing the Palace the multitnde barred
their heads, and the cheers became
wilder and wilder until the Emperor
overcome With emotion, was compelled
to withdraw. The procession passed
through the town to an open space.
WhsEe the students sang the tune ''Gau
desmus IgituF Janenes Dunn Sumas. -
In the rear Of the procession vas Q long
row Of carriages containing depntat ions
